THE DANCING WAVES is a collection of poems for children which the author has written over the years. All of them are biographical or autobiographical though names have been changed to maintain privacy.

There is no greater or more powerful or more pure human rapport with the elements than that experienced by a surfer dancing with the ocean. In Dancing the Wave, Jean-Etienne Poirier brings alive the world of surfing by offering historical, anthropological, and cultural perspectives on this increasingly popular sport. By recounting tales of his own surfing adventures, he opens the door to this world beyond the summer sun and simple pleasures of the ride, inviting readers to reflect upon the true place of human beings in the universe. This book is for all board riders, for all those who are touched by the forces of the ocean, and for all those who wish to understand the boldness of surfers, who join power and elegance in that harmonious dance with the sinuous movement of the wave.

The dance is not where we lose ourselves but where we find ourselves. Ethan Mitchell and Ava Hunt are crashing at her friend's house after being mobbed by the press. She's still leery of him after learning he was the man behind the takedown of her family's company. He convinces her to give him another chance to prove he's not the rich jerk she thinks he is. After another incident with paparazzi, Ethan decides to go back to New York to face his family scandal. Ava offers to come along as moral support. His family is horrible to her and demands Ethan get rid of her. Will he be forced to choose between her and his life in New York?
